Nope, it was a test to see if you were paying attention.

I'm happy with my 2008 Nomad. As far as "you don't know until you know"
I have a saying of my own, you don't miss what you never had.

If the opportunity presents itself take it. Life is all about experiences.

Hey I have said it before and I will say it again, I have test rode all the new bikes, hardleys, victory, Indians, but every time I got back on my beloved Nomad, I knew I would never want anything else. I ride everyday, I must have at least 200k miles on Nads, when I think about all the places she has taken me, I am so thankful for Bluebelle!

I've owned Honda's, Yamaha's, and Kawasaki's, no Harley's, never even rode one. They make some great looking bikes, but I cannot get over that "dog shaking the water off his back" look when they are setting still.

I would test ride them but for now I like the experience of riding my Nomad pretty well

Holy crap, the oil is supposed to be changed

I thought once I put full synthetic in it was good forever

Bmw tried that with final drives in 2005 and it didn't go well.
